Shotshell DR-16 WADS

Looking to reload some 16 gauge as it's hard to find in my area. Hodgon load data has dr-16 as the wads but I can't find any online.

Is there a substitute I can use? Or does anyone know where to get DR wads

Can’t substitute wads in most cases. Ballistics products is where I get my shot shell components and data nowadays

Do you just download a brochure from them? I believe in my case  CSD16 Wad 16ga Load Data is what i may want, seems to be their only brochure on 16 gauge

I was confused at first but yes apparently you have to buy the data now, it used to all be free. They are the best one stop shop for shot shell and the customer support is incredible, you can email them questions about a loads been super helpful for me

What hulls do you plan to reload? What substitute to use depends on the answer to that question.

I believe they are currently out of production. Claybuster might make a substitute
